Add note about running Atom in cli vs. icon

[rgbkrk]

As surfaced in atom-community/atom-script#5 (comment), running Atom via the icon/Applications will load the environment used by launchctl rather than your shell.

Running Atom from the terminal is the way to go if you want access to virtualenv, rvm, nvm, etc.

Interesting. Any thoughts on a way to configure Atom to launch with your preferred environment from the icon?

It kind of makes me wonder if it should be part of the ~/.atom setup. That way when atom comes out for Windows, you've got what you need setup.

The only suggestion I would have for people is to mirror env vars they want into ~/.launchd.conf, which follows a setenv format:

setenv KEY 'value'

For script we'll be adding a way to set up the env you need on run. Right now it defaults to using process.env.

I am using the init script idea from #62 and it works beautifully from me. launchd.conf and everything else people suggest just didn't seam to work for me on Mavericks.
